    I think you got it all wrong. No one can messed up Lillard's head other than Bev.

    I thought it was over when we went up 6. Then Aldridge hit a crazy 3 with the shot clock running down followed by a Batum 3 to tie it up on their next possession.

    That six point lead evaporated quickly

    I'm not an NBA coach but.......... not even on Xbox or Playstation would I have TJones in the game (a PF) to match up against Mo will, Mathews, Batum, Wright, And Lillard.

    Who was he suppose to guard in that pick and roll situation?
    Coaching lost this game and it sucks.

    It was definitely the turning point. It was a huge gamble by Stotts, but it worked. Dwight has got to at least make 1 out of 2. He went I believe 2 for 6 before McHale took him out.

    Jeremy lin stepped up in the 4th, and played very clutch offensively. Just wish harden had better vision and hut him in the corner for the best three point shot in the game..".............

    I agree, but it seems like Parsons (and McHale) thinks he's a good playmaker. I cringe every time he brings the ball up and tries to create something.

    Still in shock we lost. We win if McHale doesn't take out Howard. Unbelievable.

    This is one of the few times I've said this all season, but this one is truly on McHale more than anyone else. Just unbelievable.

    I've tried staying out of all this whole tiresome LOF/LOH business, but I have to ask. Are you just trying to troll Lin fans right now or do you truly believe the outcome of this game was mostly on him?

    I wish they would have trusted Howard during the hacking. I dont care if he missed you gotta trust him. If he goes out and we lose whats the point. I rather him be the reason we lose ON THE COURT than off. The statistics say that we win when they go to those tactics just let him shoot the fts. THEY were the desperate ones to go to the hack not us.

    I just can't comprehend how an NBA player can be so bad at free throws.

    good call Harden, wait till game 2 to pick it up. If you feel sluggish and slow in the first quarter, just relax, and wait till the next game and hope you feel different. Ya, RIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHT. Lead this team Harden or gtfo.

    Honestly I think the big game changer was not necessarily the Hack-A-Howard but McHale's idiot response to it. After pulling Dwight he didn't sub Asik in and left Jones to defend LMA. Blazers got a bunch of consecutive easy buckets in the paint after that point.

    Its not really a surprise, the rockets chuck away from 3 and employ a flawed philosophy. You won't get very far with it in the playoffs. If the rockets lose in the 1st round hopefully it will put an end to the we don't need no midrange game or plays nonsense.

    He problem is we have a back court that excels in the pick and roll in harden and lin. Howard and asik are excellent at setting screens due to their size. The problem is the refs call every screen a foul.
